Of chicago. This is the scene just moments ago where the disgraced singer r. Kelly arrived in court. This comes on the same day the singer broke his silence talking about the sexual abuse charges against him in an explosive and emotional interview. I didnt do this stuff this is not me. Im fighting for my [bleep] life. Yall killing me with this. Robert [screaming]. Yall trying to kill me. Youre killing me, man. Trace todays Court Appearances for unrelated Child Support charges. He could go back to court if he doesnt pay the 160,000 that he owes his exwife. Child support could be the least of his problems. Prosecutors are accusing the r b star of sexually abusing four women, three underage at the time. The charges could put him behind bars for decades. Matt finn has been following this story for us. Hes reporting live in chicago. Matt . Trace, r. Kelly and his attorney just walked through. We got a chance to ask him if he has the 161,000 today and what he thinks of his exwife. He had no comment. Its possible the singer is thrown back in jail today for the 161,000 due in Child Support. Court documents indicate he owes nearly 200,000. A judge ruled that he paid the 161,000 by 10 00 a. M. Because this case is sealed, we dont know if he has paid that money. K. Kellys attorney argues the singer is broke. So much so that he was unable to bail himself out of jail on a 100,000 two weeks on on the separate criminal charges, a woman claiming to be his friend bailed him out. A representative for kellys exwife says the singer has paid staff and a condo in trump tower in chicago. So he chose to stop making the 21,000 payment for Child Support. A representative for kellys exwife wont be in court today. We have open eyes if she decides to appear. Trace . Trace r. Kelly is due back in court on the sex abuse charges. Thats right. Hes due back in court in a couple weeks for ten counts of criminal sexual abuse. R. Kelly claims hes the victim of false allegations. Everybody says something bad about me. Nobody says nothing good. They was describing lucifer. Im not lucifer. Aim man. I make mistakes. Im not a devil. By no mean a monster. His hearing is completely closed to the public. Well wait to see if we hear from r. Kelly after the hearing or his attorney. Trace . Trace if yo do, let us know, matt. More on this now. Lets bring in katie, a criminal defense attorney. I want to talk about the interview, katie. This was wild. If youre defending r. Kelly, what do you make of the interview . R. Kelly may be creepy, but only time will tell if hes criminal. Im not here to defend r. Kelly but im here to defend the process and the presumption of innocence that all of us have in these criminal cases. With these Sexual Assault allegations, theres a lot of factors that we have to look into before we can get to the point that we know he will be convicted in a court of law. Trace we talk about legally, power in numbers hurts r. Kelly. You have multiple accusers now. Its tough for a jury to overcome. Weve seen this time and time again when you have Sexual Assault violations. If theres one accuser, its tough. If theres multiple accusers, it does something to the jury. Its true. Its difficult for a criminal defendant to overcome multiple accusers in a Sexual Assault case. If you have small problems, the strength in numbers overcome that and people on the jury look at you is youre just that kind of person. Youre the type of person that does this repeatedly. As a defense attorney, you look to is there collusion between the victims. Do they have time to talk to each other, do they plan their story. In the case of a celebrity, you may with have some of that. Trace how damning is this videotape for kelly . They couldnt identify him. This time it might be different. How damning might it be . Videotaping can be very damning. R. Kelly was a quitted with a video tape on 14 counts of child pornography. So the videotape, if it is what we heard it is, which is him having sexual intercourse with a minor that he knows is a minor, this can be damning. This came from michael avenatti. Thank you, katie.

Secretary nielson says she has plenty of compassion. My heart breaks for the system that we have. It does not help us to have vulnerable populations in their journey. Theres nothing humane about a system that contemplates what we see today, that contemplates 60,000 children coming across the border unaccompanied.

Republican senator Martha Mcsally from arizona says a superior officer raped her when she was serving in the air force. Ellison barber reporting live on this from washington. Ellison . Hi, trace. Senator Martha Mcsally served in the military for 20 years. The arizona senator told the word today that she understands this issue better than most because she said she herself is a survivor. Listen. So, like you, i am also a military Sexual Assault survivor. Unlike so many brave survivors, i didnt report it. Like so many women and men, i didnt trust the system at the time. I blame myself. I was ashamed and confused. I thought i was strong, but felt powerless. The perpetrators abuse their position of power in profound ways. In one days, i was preyed upon and raped by a superior officer. Mcsally went on to say she shares the disgust of many that things need to be better as a former commander and rape survivor. She went on to say she does not take this position lightly and as that are these discussions going on on capitol hill about the chain of command and how these sorts of issues are dealt with, she says we cannot command change from the outside alone. It must be deployed from within. She said i very strongly believe the commander must not be removed from the decisionmaking responsibility of preventing, detecting and prosecuting military Sexual Assault. Trace . Ellison barber live in d. C. Thank you. Here in southern california, emergency officials ordering thousands of people to leave their homes as heavy rains drench areas that were scorched by wild fires. William la jeunesse reporting live in los angeles. William . Well, trace, water in california, of course, is like gold. But historically cities have not treated rain water that way. A good winter storm like this will produce 10 billion gallons of water run off heading out to the ocean. Now san francisco, l. A. , have failed to capture that despite warnings of climate change, longer droughts and more floods. Its not reflected in policy and how the state is storing water. California has to bank four months of rain and snow and use it the next eight months. Till now, the cities have not treated it more like a threat than a resource. One of the challenges is how do we capture more of the water so we can use it for the things that we need during the dry parts of the year. The cities and california have not historically done a good job
